I love flowers

As sneaky as they are beautiful, flowers have become a recurring theme in my work. I love all types of flowers, but the kinds that really get into my jewelry ideas are the ones with big juicy petals and long meaty stems.

While I learn new and exciting ways to manipulate metal, I continuously incorporate flower forms into my work. Every flower I make is a one of a kind shape as I don't use any templates or jigs. I enjoy working freehand, it helps me create my 'Me' style.

These rings are my latest flower design. I really enjoyed making these and plan on making more. They remind me of Hawaii even though I have never been there.I love flowers!
